Openbook - Chang home folder

Problem

a user needs to change from using the default home folder to save documents to another location in the file system.


Resolution

By default Openbook will save any user docuemnts in trhe path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Freedom Scientific\OpenBook\9.0\Users\default
